We raised over $1000! As a team, we've raised over $1300! I'm so proud that we've made a difference with a little sacrifice and love. Facing cancer is scary, and having support come from everywhere makes it easier to tackle. Thanks so much everyone!

I'm so close to my goal! We've raised almost $800 and there's 6 days til Light the Night. Help me get there!

Thanks to everyone who has donated! If you know anyone who is willing to help, please help me spread the word. We can continue to give hope to those facing blood cancer with your help!

A super huge thanks to Howard Tucker for helping pull me up to my second goal of $500!

Since everyone has been so generous and this organization does so much for so many people, I'm raising my goal to $1000! There's still 2 weeks to raise more money! Will you continue to help?

Thanks and love,

Emma

I'm raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society becasue they have helped me and others with my condition with information and support. They also use this money to fund the research that has made leukemia a treatable disease. I owe my life to the doctors and nurses of course, but also to those who made the treatment possible... You!

So, I've raised my goal to $500 to help beat leukemia!

I'm only halfway there! Help me fight to save and improve the lives of people like me.

A special thanks to Nancy McGill for starting the team in honor of me. More thanks to Dr. Howard, the Markey Cancer Center, and everyone who has already donated for my excellent care and their friendly support.

Thank you for everything!

Welcome to my Light The Night Walk homepage.

Light The Night Walk is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's evening walk and fundraising event. It is the nation's night to pay tribute and bring hope to thousands of people battling blood cancers and to commemorate loved ones lost.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) funds lifesaving research that has contributed to major advances in the treatment of blood cancers and treatments for other types of cancer, such as chemotherapy and stem cell transplants. New targeted therapies that kill cancer cells without harming normal tissue are providing drugs and procedures that are improving quality of life.

In fact, in 2009 alone, LLS researchers were conducting more than 90 clinical trials, a critical step in the development of new treatments and cures that will help patients live better, longer lives.

• A donation of $25 provides patients and their loved ones with FREE booklets that contain up-to-date information on their disease and help them make informed decisions about their treatment options.
• A donation of $50 makes possible a Family Support group with a trained facilitator where comfort can be found and experiences can be shared among patients and family members.
• A donation of $100 helps supply laboratory researchers with supplies and materials critical to carrying out their search for cures.
• A donation of $1,000 makes possible one- on-one conversations with health care specialists who provide patients with information about their disease, treatment options, and helps prepare them with questions for their health care team.

Please make a donation to support my participation in the Light The Night Walk and help save lives. Be sure to check my Web site frequently to see my progress, and thanks for your support!
